We’ve been in Copenhagen attending Codegarden 2026, Umbraco’s flagship conference, bringing together developers, digital leaders, partners and creators from around the world.

This year’s event was packed with conversations about the future of digital experiences, but one topic stood out above the rest: AI. From content creation and governance tools to new ways for editors to interact with Umbraco using natural language, the focus was on practical applications that help teams work smarter while maintaining quality, control and trust.

One of the greatest benefits of Codegarden is the opportunity to connect with the global Umbraco community, share ideas, learn from others and gain early insights into where the platform is heading.

We’re looking forward to bringing those learnings back to our clients and projects in Australia.

Calico attended the Umbraco 360 Strategy Session in Melbourne this week, joining fellow partners and the local Umbraco community to explore what’s ahead for the platform.
Our Solutions Architect, Daniel, presented on website caching strategies and how Umbraco can be extended to support a wide range of scenarios—helping teams build more scalable, high-performing digital experiences.
The session brought together developers, strategists and digital leaders to exchange ideas, discuss upcoming opportunities (including Umbraco 17 and beyond), and strengthen connections across the community.

As proud Umbraco partners, we are thrilled to be hosting the Melbourne Umbraco Meetup for February 2025!

These hybrid meetups are a unique opportunity to pool together Umbraco experts from near and far. During these gatherings, developers share valuable insights and discoveries in relation to the CMS, providing members with collaborative support, education and discussion.

What an epic opportunity to learn from some of the best in our industry... (and indulge in some pizza) we can't wait. 😊🖥

Creating a website requires careful balance - encompassing messaging and objectives, with seamless and intuitive user experience. Balancing these needs requires finesse, strategy, and a deep understanding of both the business and its target audience.

Our design and UI UX specialist, Judd, walks us through a strategic approach when encountering the compromise between these directives.

Recently, a diverse group of Australians from various digital agencies, including Calico's Matt and Andy, converged at the annual Umbraco Codegarden conference in Odense, Denmark. The conference offered exclusive previews of upcoming features, hands-on workshops with the Umbraco team, and the chance to forge connections with global digital experts.

In the following weeks after Code Garden, our Senior Umbraco developer, Scott organised a meet up event in Brisbane at TinyMCE HQ, collaborating with counterparts from Sydney and Melbourne. The purpose was to facilitate knowledge sharing among attendees, allowing them to discuss their learnings from the Codegarden conference. This gathering provided a valuable opportunity to network with industry professionals, gain insights into the latest Umbraco updates, and engage in collaborative discussions on best practices.

The office environment for the Calico team is full of floor to ceiling windows perfect for pensive staring during intense phone calls, or shots of vitamin D while on the job. 🌞

Our co-working office environment is warm, accomodating and central, the perfect place to combine work and play. In a post-covid world, we're very grateful to have the opportunity to work in such a diverse melting pot of business and industry. How lucky we are. ❤️
